Original

Chapter 17

         Tyler, Stefan, and I were standing in the middle of actual fucking nowhere. Stefan was holding onto Tyler.
            "Okay, so the plan is for Iris to stay back here." Stefan said.
            "What?! No!" I said, looking at Stefan and Tyler. "Ty! Help me out."
"Iris I don't want you to get bit." Stefan said.
"I think you should stay back here." Tyler said to me.
"No fucking wolf can take me down." I said.
"You can be our secret weapon." Stefan said.
"I know you're out there." Jules said. Stefan walked out of the trees, Tyler in hand.
"Where is Caroline." Stefan asked.
"She's locked up tight." Jules said.
"Secret weapon my ass." I mumbled, walking out of the trees. I took my place right next to Stefan.
"Damnit Iris." Stefan mumbled.
"We are in this together. Caroline is my friend too." I said to Stefan.
"Let her go, and I'll release Tyler. It doesn't have to get any messier than it already has. I'm not your enemy, Jules." Stefan said.
"It's a little late to be waving the white flag, don't you think?" Jules asked. I rolled my eyes.
"You need to leave town before anyone else gets hurt." I said to her.
"I'm not leaving without Tyler." Jules said, making me very annoyed.
"Well Tyler here is free to make his own decisions once you let Caroline go." I said, giving her a fake ass smile. I hear footsteps behind me. Damon Salvatore.
"My brother the peacemaker. Since Stefan got here before me I'm gonna let him try it his way before I resort to my way, which is a little bloodier. So give us Caroline." Damon said, standing right next to me.
"Let go of Tyler." Jules said once again. It's like she's stuck on repeat.
"Give us Caroline. Without a full moon it's not an even fight and you know it. We will take you." Damon said. I personally don't want to fight anyone, but if Damon starts shit, I will help Stefan and him.
"I'm not so sure about that, tough guy." Jules said. She whistles and at least eleven wolves come out of nowhere. I looked at Damon, who was completely stunned. "Let's try this again. Give us Tyler."
"You heard her. Get over there." Damon said, pushing Tyler away from us. Tyler ran over to Jules, tripping on his own feet. One of the male pack members stepped forward. He must be Alpha Male.
"Which one of you killed Mason Lockwood." He asked. Not me.
"That would be me." Damon said proudly. Cocky bastard.
"Boys. Make sure that one suffers." Damon looks at Stefan and I.
"We can take 'em."
"No we definitely can't." Stefan said.
"We have an Original on our side."
"My magic is still not at one hundred." I said. I have a good seventy five percent. All hell breaks lose, and a wolf comes at me full speed.
"Lacorte." I said, as the wolf fell to the floor in pain, I ran quickly up to him, ripping his heart out, throwing it across the clearing. Another one came at me with a pipe. Like that's gonna do anything! I flip over him, grabbing the pipe from his hands, making him ultimately confused. I ended up bashing him in the head with it. I heard sounds of discomfort come from both the Salvatore brothers.
"Iris!" Stefan shouted, as the loud noise of Jules gun rang into the air.
"rigescunt indutae." I called out as the bullets froze in mid air, dropping like flies onto the ground. The area became flooded with magic, magic that was not my own. Jonas Martin walks out of the woods, his hands raised, as all of the wolves fall to the ground. He used frequencies to put them to sleep.
"Elijah made a promise to Elena. I'm here to see it's upheld. You need to go. Get out of here. Now." Jonas said. I rolled my eyes. Looking at Damon, Stefan, and then Caroline. We all started to walk out of the clearing. I decided to ride with Damon, completely over the day. Stefan went with Caroline, making sure she's okay.

Stefans Pov:
I was standing on Caroline's porch. It would be wrong if one of us didn't take her home, just making sure that she's okay. I mean she did just go through physical torture today.
"So is your mom home?" I asked her. She shook her head.
"No. She's working the late shift tonight." I dont want to leave her alone tonight, but I also want to get home to Iris, who isn't speaking to me... Yeah maybe I should sleep on Caroline's couch.
"I can come in if you want me to." I said to her. She smiled for a small second.
"I'm fine Stefan." She said softly.
"You don't have to pretend with me. Anybody would be upset after what you went through tonight."
"I'm okay. I'm not girly little Caroline anymore. I can handle myself." She said to me. I nodded. "Besides, you have to fix whatever is going on between you and Iris. Don't use me to avoid it." She said to me. I laughed.
"Yeah I said something I shouldn't have this morning."
"We all do things like that sometimes. But she truly loves you stefan. I can tell. Now go get your girl." I nodded, walking off.

Iris' pov:

Damon was pouring us bourbon, because after this long ass day, we honestly need to relax. There was a knock at the door.
"That's odd." I said to Damon, who nodded. If it was Stefan, he would just walk inside, and I'm pretty sure elena would just walk in too. Damon opened up the door, revealing John Gilbert. Damon immediately groaned, trying to close the door, as John stuck his hand in the door, stoping Damon.
"What do you want?" Damon asked annoyed. The tone of his voice, and his body language completely give it away.
"We never got to finish our conversation." John said.
"I'll bite." Damon said, allowing John to come inside. John makes eye contact with me.
"Oh so you're letting everyone inside." John said. He knows that I'm an original. "I've been thinking. Personal feelings aside Damon, I think you and Stefan will do all you can to protect Elena." John said.
"You act like I don't do my part protecting Elena." I said to John.
"You don't."
"I protect Stefan and Damon from my crazy ass hybrid brother, and my other brother who used to have a death wish for Damon. So yes, I protect Elena in a way." I said to John. He completely ignored me.
"I come bearing gifts." John said, opening a cloth revealing a dagger and ashes. The one thing that could kill me was sitting on my table. Great.
"What the hell is that?" Damon asked.
"This is how you kill an Original. In this vial is ash from a white oak tree that dates back to the genesis of the Originals. The dagger must be dipped into the ash, and then plugged into our heart." I said. John nodded. He told us that Isobel ended up telling him the way to end up killing an original.

Not too soon after John left, Damon decided that he was heading up to bed. I decided to stay awake, waiting for Stefan to get home. I waited a good hour until I heard the click of the door. I stood up as Stefan walked in. I ran up to him, giving him a big hug.
"Well hello to you too." He said, returning the hug.
"I'm sorry for being petty today. I know that you were talking about Klaus and Elijah. They haven't done anything to deserve your trust. And being a Mikaelson just means your name gets dragged through the dirt." I said.
"I should be apologizing. I hated seeing you this way today, and knowing I did it made it even worse." I broke the hug so I could look up at Stefan. He leaned in kissing me, sending power surging throughout my whole body. I opened my eyes, and papers were flying all around the room, along with pillows and other light weight things.
"Purple eyes." He said to me. I laughed.
"Are you gonna call it out every time it happens?" I ask. He nods and smiles.
"You're such a dork."
